I am not referring to an email-company decrypting your emails. But if you use an online service, like gemail, YOU will decript the incoming emails on your online account and then have the plain text version saved there.
Impossible. I can not decrypt encrypted emails in the gmail viewer, they are not recognized. It doesn't even recognize PGP signatures, they are displayed as garbage.
At some point there was an extension that would allow PGP usage in Gmail in Firefox. Even then the decryption was all client-side, all Gmail ever saw was the gibberish. I think Daniel may not be all that familiar with how PGP works for people using online services. You either use an external client, or manually decrypt it using GPG or other utilities. The only system around that does encryption on the server, that I know of, is hushmail. I would not trust hushmail for true security.
